Developing a comparison linked to the effects of the Gothic Novel

These are the two task started in lesson time that should be complete by next Monday as your Milestones:

Task 1

'Gothic novels should not deal so much with the ordinary lives of the protagonist but should terrify the readder with elements of the supernatural.'

Compare this statement to the three texts you have been studying. It should be no longer than 500 words

Task 2

'I beheld those i loved spend vain sorrow upon the graves of William and Justine, the first hapless victims to my unhallowed arts.'

Using this quotation in you opening, write Victor's confession to the same Roman Catholic confessor as Justine. Review Chapter 8 for any other religious references to support your response.

Each task should be no longer than 500 words. The combined tasks will be used to form your milestone assessment.
